Illustration 10 - Entering from the side
Illustration 10: The BSI system will not
operate if your vehicle is on a lane marker
when another vehicle enters the detection
zone. In this case only the BSW system
operates.
NOTE:
. The radar sensors may not detect a
vehicle which is traveling at about the
same speed as your vehicle when it
enters the detection zone.
. If the driver activates the turn signal
before a vehicle enters the detection
zone, the side indicator light will flash
but no chime will sound when the other
vehicle is detected. .
BSI will not operate or will stop operat-
ing and only a warning chime will sound
under the following conditions.
— When the brake pedal is depressed.
(models without Direct Adaptive
Steering)
— When the vehicle is accelerated dur-
ing BSI system operation
— When steering quickly
— When the ICC, DCA, PFCW or FEB
warnings sound.
— When the hazard warning flashers
are operated.
— When driving on a curve at a high
speed.

Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
push the dynamic driver assistance switch
again to turn the BSI system back on.
When radar blockage is detected, the BSI
system will be turned off automatically, a
chime will sound and the “side radar ob-
struction” warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display
.
The BSI system is not available until the
conditions no longer exist. For additional
information, see “System maintenance”
(P.5-60).
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn the BSI system on again. If the “side
radar obstruction” warning message ap-
pears even after the BSI system is turned
on again, stop the vehicle in a safe location,
place the shift lever in the P (Park) position
and turn the engine off. Check for and
remove objects obscuring the radar sensors
on the rear bumper, and restart the engine.
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 104°F (40°C)) and then the
BSI system is turned on, the BSI system may
be deactivated automatically. The “high
cabin temperature” warning message will appear in the vehicle information display
.
Action to take:
When the interior temperature is reduced,
push the dynamic driver assistance switch
again to turn the BSI system back on.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the BSI system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will sound,
and the system “malfunction” warning mes-
sage with the driver assist system blind spot
indicator (orange) will appear in the vehicle
information display.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location and place
the shift lever in the P (Park) position. Turn
the engine off and restart the engine. If the
system “malfunction” warning message with
the driver assist system blind spot indicator
(orange) continues to be displayed, have the
BSI system checked. It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsfor the BSI system
are located near the rear bumper. Always
keep the area near the radar sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by
temporary ambient conditions such as
splashing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused by
objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing
the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the radar sensors.
Do not attach stickers (including transparent
material), install accessories or apply addi-
tional paint near the radar sensors.

The radar sensorsdetect an approaching
vehicle from up to approximately 49 ft (15
m) away. The sonar sensors
detect
stationary objects behind the vehicle up to
approximately 4.9 ft (1.5 m). Refer to the
illustration for approximate zone coverage
areas
.

BCI SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the BCI
system operates.
If the radar detects a vehicle approaching
from the side or the sonar detects close
stationary objects behind the vehicle, the
system gives visual and audible warnings. If
the driver does not apply the brakes, the
system automatically applies the brake for a
moment when the vehicle is moving back-
wards. After the automatic brake applica-
tion, the driver must depress the brake pedal
to maintain brake pressure. If the driver’s
foot is on the accelerator pedal, the systempushes the accelerator upward before ap-
plying the brake. If you continue to accel-
erate, the system will not engage the brake.

NOTE:
.In the case of several vehicles approach-
ing in a row (Illustration 1) or in the
opposite direction (Illustration 2), a
chime may not be sounded by the BCI
system after the first vehicle passes the
sensors.
. The sonar system chime indicating there
is an object behind the vehicle has a
higher priority than the BCI chime
(single beep) indicating an approaching
vehicle. If the sonar system detects an
object behind the vehicle and the BCI
system detects an approaching vehicle
at the same time, the following indica-
tions are provided:
— The sonar system chime sounds
— The side indicator light on the side of
the approaching vehicle flashes, and
— A yellow rectangular frame appears
in the display.
JVS0307X
If an approaching vehicle or object behind
the vehicle is detected when your vehicle is
backing up, a red frame
will appear on the
upper display and the system will chime
three times. Then, the brakes will be applied
momentarily. After the automatic brake
application, the driver must depress the
brake pedal to maintain brake pressure.
If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system moves the accelerator
pedal upward before the braking is applied.
However, if you continue to accelerate, the
system will not engage the brakes.
The BCI system does not operate if the
object is very close to the bumper.

rily by touching the BCI system key

key turns off. When the shift lever is placed
in the R (Reverse) position again, the BCI
system is turned on.
